I traveled to Worcester, MA as to deliver a painting of mine to the Davis Art Gallery. I have an upcoming show at the Davis Art Gallery that I'm a part of called, "Nonobjective NOW: New England Artists Explore Abstraction. I'm very excited to be included in this juried exhibit that features interpretations of nonobjective subject matter in a variety of 2D and 3D media, including drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, mixed media, photography, fiber arts, and design. The Opening Reception will be on the 22nd of September from 5-7 pm and the exhibit runs through January 5, 2018. The painting that I will exhibit is "Mosaic Color Grid: The Dance, Structure & Movement and is pictured here:

It was such a beautiful day that I thought I'd take a stroll around the area, known as the Grid District. The Davis Gallery is located within the Printers Building in the Grid District on Portland St. Just outside the doorway were a few incredible pieces of street art. The orange and blue one below is by an artist from Nepal who brings Sanskrit and graffiti art together. Check out Instagram @imagine876. Across the street were two massive murals, show in the photo to the right and also separately below. And down the street was this fun mural of a happy-face balloon!

Many of these murals were created over the past few years as part of Pow! Wow!, which is a cool mural festival and celebration of art and culture. The festival also takes place in cities and countries such as Hawaii, Taiwan, Long Beach, Israel, Singapore, Jamaica, Washington D.C., Guam, New Zealand, Germany, and more. The POW WOW! Worcester mural festival, which was just in August 2017, has added dozens of murals in Worcester in less than 10 days while also hosting a number of arts and community-centered events and programs.​ Although I missed taking part of the festivities, I'm glad that I got to see a few of the incredible artworks that came out of this incredible festival. ​ Visit www.powwowworcester.com for more information.
